1xtra simulcast with westwood - that is def the way forward!! it seriously does leave a gap for cover. I cant see Dev gettingthe cover shifts. MAybe Nihal will carry on the cover role, and unless Jo and Edith do (which I doubt it) that only really leaves Reggie out of the more main stream presenters.

Whilst im happy for Sara, again, It will be sad not hearing her on the radio. I do hope she stays on though afterwards.

Congratulations Sara! She must be over the moon!

On a Radio 1 front, possible stand in's or Sara

Nihal

Annie Mac

Chappers and Dave

Huw Stephens

And... Now that means Sara won't be doing any day time covers for a while, this is how I'd do the regular day time fill ins

Dev - Someone from 1Xtra

Chris Moyles - Scott Mills

Fearne Cotton - Annie Mac

Greg James - Huw Stephens

Scott Mills - Chappers (with Beccy, no Scott Mills Gold)

Nihal has a regular daytime weekday show on the Asian Network, do you think he'd be available to cover on Radio 1?

Easily, if its afternoon or weekends. Although if he cover a morning show they will cover his asian show. After all Asian network is Andy Parfitt controlled as well so no station conflicts there

Correct me if I'm wrong, but hasn't Nihal's Asian Network show moved to the afternoons now?

congrats Sara,

I love all the debate about who will cover! when is Sara's baby due? Maybe R1 should be making a big effort to use new broadcasters... eg students involved in radio etc (rather than the band members who are used to cover Zane!)

Why on earth would Jo or Edith cover, after saying they wanted a smaller workload to spend more time with their children? And chappers is so rarely in the studio nowadays, he always seems to be working on an outside sports broadcast and phoning into the show.

Really? Listening to Jo since the news broke that she was moving to weekends, you very much get the feeling she doesn't want to leave weekdays.

Yeah, she pressed a button accidentally and said "no wonder they're moving me to weekends". In a jokey manner but you can tell it wasn't her choice.

    • Less so with 5 Live. But with Nihal, Nicky Campbell and Mark Chapman get what you are saying.6 Music does have that with Huw Stephens, Mary Anne Hobbs, Gilles Peterson, Marc Riley and Mark Radcliffe
    • Agreed, Martha seems to quietly taken over as host of the Tuesday Bass and Big Beats show that Annie Nightingale did would be good to have some promotion to be done for her show. Agreed with this on bank holidays on a Radio 1 dance day inpaticular would be quite good to have Sarah Storey, Jaguar, Jeremiah Asiamah, Charlie Tee and Martha presenting. I always felt that in Christmas and New Year previously having Victoria Jane to do a Future Soul take over playlist.
    • To be fair to him, this week and next week he’s on his podcast tour which was arranged well before he started on R1. After that I would guess he’ll start being on everyday? 
    • It’s Jamie’s dream of a lifetime to be a full time Radio 1 presenter apparently, but he can only do it 2 or 3 days a week. 
    • Radio 1 generation meaning??  Today's 10-30 yr-olds? I doubt it. They'll still know Pete Tong though, because he is rhyming slang!
    • There was a time when everyone knew Zane Lowe or Annie Mac or Judge Jules or Dave Pearce or Annie Nightingale. Does the Radio 1 generation know the current bunch?
    • Looks like it's off to Preston! 
    • Would be nice to give more presence to the specialist shows over bank holidays. Surely the best way to promote new music credentials over anthems? As much as I accept it's very popular.
    • Peak radio 1 ! I agree with Bluestraw there was huge presence by specialist presenters then , certainly something I think radio1 could do more of now. Remember the takeover where specialist DJs would swap into main shows for a week? Or do we recall In New DJs We Trust, the competition on Chris moyles show where the winner would get a DJ set at radio 1s Ibiza weekend, and that is how Danny Howard’s radio career starters
    • Yeah. He started on R1 in the late 90's when they used do the 'Sessions in the Nations' where they used to split for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. He then moved to daytimes, firstly on weekends in 2003 then they replaced Mark & Lard on the mid afternoon slot in 2004.  Then he moved to late evenings as a specialist DJ.
    • Thanks for sharing that - I don't think I've seen it before. Didn't realise that Colin Murray off of Countdown and R5L used to be on R1! Several other current R2/R5L/R6M names there too.
    • 29th April has updated to show Dan back as presenter but still Nels in for Alyx on Introducing Rock. 6th May schedule has updated to show that the Radio 1 Big Weekend Shows will now be the following: 6am-10am 10am-2pm 2pm-6pm 6pm-8pm Still no presenters listed.
    • Where do we think Radio 2 in the Park will be this year? Personally I'm thinking Swindon after Scott's clue of it having many roundabouts and since Big Weekend is at Luton I can't imagine they'd go to Milton Keynes.
    • Yeah, I feel like they need a big push on Jack to cement him in his new position. But it shouldn't just be Jack, you've got Sian and Alyx for instance, who are relatively new faces.
    • Now in it's third week, the new Capital Breakfast Show seems to be settling down well and there are more of the informal, random Jordan topics appearing.  Though it is clear he wants to be seen slightly differently. It really is a very decent listen.
